I have to admit -- Worms definitely has everlasting replay value. Kinda like AoK designing for that matter. I've played it for years (through the multiple-players-taking-turns-in-one-PC way) and never grew tired of it. The first one was the arguably the best of the series. The second generation was good with all those new weaponry, but the cartoony feeling and weapon effects just ruined the whole thing. The 3D one is just... meh.

Worms refers to the turn based series of games where you play as a team of worms firing odd weapons as enemy worms. Weapons in the series have included the Holy Hand Grenade, the Concrete Donkey, and the Chili Con Carnage. Look it up.
I have Worms for the 360 and Worms Armageddon. That's it.

Ah, the concrete donkey. Greatest weapon of destruction ever.
I'm more than up for a multi game, even though my greatest foe has always been myself.
Ironic, really considering that people have suddenly been talking about it over the past week on the BF forums.

Worms is fun. I had world party when it was released but I lost it a year later when it mysteriously dissapeared when it dropped on the floor. Damn it, I swear it fell through the floor.
I play Worms Armageddon with Rocking Doom, it's a nice game. you can add me in msn and we can play togheter if you want we use 3.6.28 version, it's not the newest (.29) but it's easy to switch versions.

I'd love to own some of those older worms games, but I never find them anywhere
I have played some demos and at my friends and I've always liked them

I'm going to borrow the WWP from my friend, I'll probably go get it tomorrow or something. You guys managed to rise my interest enough so that I'll actually go out for longer than 5 minutes
EDIT: let's hope it works on my vista computer

Worms were and are still great. I should have both Armageddon and World Party lying around but it's been probably a year since I last played any of them. Still love my old rope-rope-hallelujah combo. Normally meant that my own worms died for the cause, but they performed some nifty stunts before falling into the sea

Why not just run the (legal) DOS version of Worms?
(I do mean the original one, by the way. It's the only one that I have. )

I have been keeping count, and this makes 4 players with Armageddon and 3-5 players with World party ( I found mine, seems in good condition )
How about a Worms 'Party' sometime

An emulator is legal as long as you own both the console and the cartridge, which I'm sure he does.
None of us are free, one of us is chained.

Just curious, how do you guys play with each other normally? Wormnet? or do you play with IP?

to play we need to chat, and we can use either hamachi (lan) or msn (with direct ip). Wormnet isn't active anymore I think.

I am a Field Marshal in deathmatch. Not bad!
I have no idea how to play online. Someone else will have to pioneer that for us.

Me, Murloc and Rocking Doom had a nice game of Armageddon yesterday
I had some amazing luck and managed to get the second place
Rock was last, because he forgot to take cover before he used the armageddon attack My worm survived, amazingly enough. It was a battle of 1 vs 1 worm between me and Murloc, but murloc managed to shoot me with a bazooka (didn't die) and then with a shotgun (fell off and died)
It was a great game ^.^

awesome game.
That shotgun sniping was risky but the best thing to do.
